Gaia is a space telescope that measures the positions and velocities of stars in the Milky Way. The Gaia data is the largest stellar catalog to date, with the velocities and positions of 1.8 billion stars in the Milky Way!                                                         Register

No prior knowledge of the data set is required. People at different levels will be accessing the data in the same room, and collaborating on new and exciting projects. If you have ideas on what to use the new data release for, great! Come in for snacks and the company. If not, we have some fun projects for you, and a day full of tutorials. Lunch and snacks will be provided, so be sure to register.

Prizes will also be awarded to undergraduate participants for:
- the coolest plot
- the coolest science result
- the cleanest code

Join in and let's have some fun!

Tutorial: January 27
Hackathon: January 28 - 30
